Review # 1 was written on 2018-02-23 00:00:00 Eve Jefferson Quick DNF. Heroine makes the dumbest nincompoops in HPlandia sound like Marie Curie. This felt a lot more like chick-lit than Harlequinny romance (not that I mind chick-lit but author should leave it to the pros, cause her attempt at writing a whimsical, modern career gal who wants to have it all was cringe-inducing). _"The thing is," she asserted herself to begin briskly, "that you would like a s-son, and I need a h-husband tem..." Temporarily, she would have said, had he given her the chance. _ "Who the hell are you?" Peverelle demanded curtly. _"No one you know. We .. " _ "Where did you get hold of that sort of erroneous information?" he challenged sharply. "Are you press?" _ "No, I'm not!" she erupted..."We have a mutual friend, sort of," she hurried on. _"Who?" he rapped. _ "That's not important just now." _ "So-what is important?..What are you after?" _ "Nothing-other than..." _ "A husband, in return for a son-and a meal ticket for the rest of your life, no doubt," he snarled. He thought she was after his wealth! Shocked, Elexa was speechless for endless seconds. Then, furious with him, with herself, _ "When I'm that hard-up I'll let you know!" she hissed, and fairly threw the phone back on its rest. That anyone could accuse her of such a thing as marrying for money was something she had simply not considered. To think she had seriously, for even half a moment, thought of tying herself up with that suspicious swine!...Had he been mixing with the wrong sort of woman? Suspicious devil! Yeah, really, what an unnecessarily suspicious, rude pig? How did he not jump at the chance of accepting the proposal of this lunatic stranger who rang him up out of the blue? How dare he cast suspicions on her mind, morality, and financial status? I mean, any reasonable man with a sixth sense would just decipher, from the strange voice on the other end of a phone line, that this was simply the case of a beautiful, smart, engaging, financially successful career woman with a good family and hordes of nice men at her feet begging for a chance at matrimony, and that she was simply giving him the chance at a jackpot marriage of convenience so they could both fulfill their bio urges to procreate, placate heroine's pushy mother, and get on with their lives with no emotional albatross around their neck. How the idiot hero could not gather this simple information from the brilliant, detailed, calm and intelligent words she was uttering through the phone to him, I'll never know!

Review # 2 was written on 2011-09-16 00:00:00 Wilfried Tepper The h is a 25 year old career woman. Unfortunately her family won't leave her alone to concentrate on her career. They are determined to find her a man to marry, and they're driving her nuts. The H is a successful ceo. He'd like a son to inherit his empire but doesn't want the emotional entanglement of a wife. He does want his child to be legitimate. The h over hears the H talking to his friend at a restaurant and after one too many set-ups by her mother she decides to contact the H. So they agree to a moc for the purpose of creating one child. It will last one year and end in divorce. The H will get his child and the h will get her mother, aunts and cousins off her back long enough to achieve a career promotion. This is a fun light read. Of course some will not like the h because she's willing to make a contract to have a child, but in reality she falls in love with the H almost immediately.
